General Qin

"We shouldn't be punished."

On the way to Dianbing Gaotai, Heihou muttered in a low voice.

Except for Shejian who had a cold face, the others also looked left and right, looking uneasy.

During the drill just now, they had already reached the edge of the school field. There was a ditch in front of them, and the line on the other side of the ditch was already out.

It stands to reason that they cannot cross the trench. When they reach the edge of the school field, they should turn around and go back like the thousands of people in front of them.

But the drums that should have stopped did not stop, and the sound of golden gongs that should have sounded did not appear, which caused everyone to stand there in a daze.

At this time, Zhao Tuo rushed out with the sound of drums, appearing very abrupt.

They also chased after them with their trust in Zhao Tuo.

But unexpectedly, after the sound of the drums stopped, a messenger suddenly arrived, ordering them to go to Dianbingtai.

This is very scary.

After all, none of the other nine Centuries charged forward, making Geng Shi's movements of the ten appear very abrupt, which was equivalent to disrupting the formation.

There are words in the military order, those who are in disorder will be punished!

"Do you want to use us as a model and punish severely in front of the armed forces?"

"You won't behead your head?"

Brothers Long and Short and A Niu both looked ashen, and already regretted charging with Zhao Tuo.

Zhu comforted: "No way, after all, the hundred generals rushed with us. And we came with the drums, so it shouldn't be counted as violating the order."

But his voice was a little trembling. Zhu still remembered that when he served in the army last time, there was a long disturbance in the formation. As a result, all the soldiers were beheaded for public display, and their heads were hung on the shaft gate, making the passing soldiers tremble with fear.

Thinking of this, Zhu's legs trembled a little.

"Shut up and stay in line."

Zhao Tuo's expression was calm, and at this time he still kept everyone in line.

On the Dianbing platform, Li Xin stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes were piercing like a knife, staring at Shi Wu who was ordered to come.

The two school lieutenants beside them looked at each other, they were not sure what the general meant.

To punish, or to reward?

"The villain Geng Shi, Zhao Tuo, pays his respects to the general and the school lieutenant."

Zhao Tuo approached quickly and respectfully saluted the three officials on the Dianbing platform. Everyone in Shizhong also followed Zhao Tuo and bowed with trembling bodies.

Li Xin's eyes moved.

accent.

Not from Guanzhong Qin.

Even if what Zhao Tuo said was elegant and could be understood by everyone, the local accent was still a little obvious.

But Li Xin didn't get entangled in this issue, he just nodded slightly, but instead of looking at Zhao Tuo, he turned his attention to other people.

"All the formations stopped, why did you rush out, I wonder if this will disrupt the formation of the army?"

Li Xin's voice was cold, with no emotion.

thump.

A Niu was frightened by Li Xin's questioning, his whole body trembled, he knelt down on the ground, and said, "I rushed with everyone, General, it's not my fault."

Long and Short also cried: "General, we are all following them. If they don't rush, we won't rush out either."

Li Xin was expressionless, and looked aside.

Black Butt yelled: "I followed Shichang, the military order said before, let us all follow Shichang."

"Yes, we follow Shichang closely, and we will do whatever Shichang does."

Zhu and Xiaobai also agreed.

Xiqigu gritted his teeth and said: "According to the military order, we must obey the commander's command."

Everyone said the same thing, but the core problem was that Zhao Tuo gave the order to charge.

Regarding this, Li Xin was noncommittal, and his eyes finally fell on Zhao Tuo.

"You gave the order to charge? Why have you reached the edge of the school field, and all the formations stopped, and you rushed forward into the trench with a dozen people, disrupting the formation. I don't know what the military order says. Is it?"

Zhao Tuo raised his head, straightened his spine, and his eyes were clear.

"The villain heard that since ancient times, the long-term victorious division has relied on temperance orders. If the temperance orders are not strict, even if they go to the battlefield, they will be a mob. When training the golden drum before, the head of the village and the hundred generals repeatedly emphasized that 'beat the drum and advance. Ming Jin and retreat'."

"That's why the villain thinks that as soldiers, as long as they go to the battlefield, they only need to read the flags and orders and only listen to the sound of golden drums. If the flags and drums are urging us to move forward, even if the general says no, we should not To obey, but to march to the beat of the drum."

"If the drums don't stop, don't say that the front is just a trench. Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, we have to rush in. If there is the sound of gold, even if the lord tells us to go forward, we should retreat immediately. There should be no remembrance."

Zhao Tuo spoke loudly, and his seven-foot body seemed extraordinarily tall at this moment.

The two school captains looked at the boy in front of them in surprise.

Li Xin's eyes sparkled even more, and he spoke loudly.

"Well, as long as you don't stop beating the drums, you have to charge forward even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire in front of you."

"If all the troops have such a heart, what army can't be broken, and what merits can't be made?"

Li Xin took a deep look at Zhao Tuo, and encouraged him: "I don't care what your background is, I hope you can keep this heart, and you will have a bright future."

"only."

Zhao Tuo saluted respectfully and breathed a sigh of relief. Li Xin's words seemed to imply that he didn't care about Zhao Tuo's background, but only valued ability.

Li Xin said to Huan Zhao: "Lieutenant Huan, the method of battle should be like this. Hearing the drum, the gold retreats. Everything moves according to the golden drum. If there is any unexpected situation, he will be in a hurry. When he goes to the battlefield, he may be afraid. There is a danger of overthrowing the army and killing the general."

"What the general said is true, please punish him." Huan Zhao had a bitter expression on his face.

Li Xin turned his head to look at Zhao Tuo who was calm and composed again, and couldn't help but give a soft compliment in his heart.

"Your son will be rewarded with ten thousand qian, each of them will be rewarded with a thousand qian, and a team of one hundred will be rewarded with a hundred qian. As for the remaining 900 people, each will cut down on their diet for three days. Tell the troops and take this as a warning."

"only."

...

"A Tuo made a big splash this time. In my opinion, Hugh is a mere superintendent, even a village chief can do it."

In Gengshi's tent, Black Butt was wearing new clothes, and while drinking the hot wine given to him, he laughed and spoke.

"That's right, Shi Chang is too powerful. You see, everyone was stunned at that time. Those generals and village chiefs didn't know what to do. Only we, Geng Shi, rushed out with the sound of the drum. You Tell me, does this mean that those hundred generals and village chiefs are not as powerful as our chiefs?"

"That's right, I saw that when Shichang said that, even the general was taken aback for a while. Those two school lieutenants should promote Shichang to be the head of the village."

Brothers Long and Short, A Niu and others also agreed. While counting the rewards in their hands, they flattered Zhao Tuo.

Even Xiaobai Hezhu and others joined the praise team.

This reward of a thousand dollars has made them completely worship Zhao Tuo.

Then Xi Qigu rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think it's easy to be a village head? That requires a title, at least a title above the highest level."

This action of Xiqigu angered everyone, Heihou shouted: "So what, with A Tuo's ability, sooner or later he will be promoted to be the head of the village."

Others also spoke out one after another, and there was a commotion in the tent.

At the door, Zhao Tuo shook his head while listening to the arguments of the people.

Just like what Xi Qigu said, Qin is a country based on nobility, and military merit runs through everything. Even if he is named and praised by General Li Xin, his performance far exceeds those of the chiefs and generals.

But he doesn't have enough titles.

Without a noble, one cannot serve as a higher-ranking military official.

"Soon."

Zhao Tuo looked outside.

The cold winter has receded from the land of Yanzhao, and everything is recovering. There are green stripes on the bare branches in the distance, and the soil on the earth is also pushed away by the tender green grass.

In the distance, you can even see the sight of birds spreading their wings and flying.

spring is coming.

War, too.

Adapted from Qi Jiguang's "Ji Xiao's New Book Volume 2": Do not listen to the words spoken by the people and act arbitrarily; Don't obey, just follow the banner and orders blindly. Soldiers look at the generals of each battalion, and the generals of the Chinese army. If the beating of the drum should go forward, even if there is water and fire ahead, if the beating of the drum can’t stop, one must go forward even if the beating of the drum doesn’t stop; Order returned. If it is like this, everyone has one eye, one ear, and one heart. What thief can't be killed, what merit can't be done?
